Today's mill
is much as it was in the early nineteenth century, with a big steel water
wheel, a pair of French buhr stones, and a maze of functioning wooden
chutes and elevators. The sense of the past is strong here. A curator
is on hand to explain the mill's history, and on alternate Saturdays,
(1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month May-October), volunteers assist in bringing the
mill back to life - when the mill is operating the floor boards rumble,
the sound of machinery fills your ears, and the aroma of freshly ground
grain permeates the air. Open from mid-May through mid-November. Mill
hours are Mon-Sat 10 AM - 4 PM; Sun 1-4 PM. Group tours are available
